btcguild needs to compile the updated software and load it before they can start. So it's probably not going to work for at least a good half an hour depending on how fast the compiling server is and how long it takes to compile the bitcoin code.

It's like 30 seconds.

If you have all the dependencies compiled and your Machine is damm fast, Ok.If you start from scratch, it would take hours.

Hours?? What compiler are you using?

So if i0Guild had the test server up and running (which they did), wouldn't the dependencies already be taken care of. I think they traded in their commodore/64 a couple months back when BTC surged to $30
